Registered Nurse Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a registered nurse in Florida?

To become a registered nurse in Florida, you must graduate from an accredited nursing program, pass the NCLEX-RN exam, and obtain a license through the Florida Board of Nursing. Florida participates in the Nurse Licensure Compact, so nurses licensed in other compact states can practice in Florida without a separate state license. Most Florida hospital positions prefer or require a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, though an associate degree qualifies for initial licensure.

How much do registered nurses make in Florida?

Registered nurses in Florida earn a median of about $84,190 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $67,970 for the lowest 10% to over $120,330 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire registered nurses in Florida?

Employers hiring registered nurses in Florida right now include American Traveler, Memorial Healthcare System, and UF Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Florida's large integrated health systems drive the majority of openings, with consistent volume across inpatient, outpatient, and specialty care settings throughout the state.

Which Florida cities have the most registered nurse jobs?

Jacksonville, Tampa, and Miami have the most registered nurse openings in Florida. Miami and Orlando lead because of their dense concentration of large hospital campuses, trauma centers, and specialty care networks, while Tampa's strength in academic medicine and cancer care anchors steady hiring across Hillsborough and the surrounding counties.

Are there remote registered nurse jobs in Florida?

Yes, but they're rare. About 5% of registered nurse openings tied to Florida are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting how fundamentally hands-on bedside nursing is. The remote segment that does exist is concentrated in utilization review, case management, and telephonic triage roles where direct patient contact is not required.

How can I get hired as a registered nurse in Florida with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is a nurse residency program, and large Florida systems including AdventHealth, HCA Florida Healthcare, and Baptist Health run structured new-graduate residencies that accept candidates with no post-graduation experience. Applying to med-surg or telemetry units is the most accessible starting point, as those floors are historically the highest-volume hiring areas and regularly take new graduates. Holding an active Florida Board of Nursing license and a current BLS certification before applying gives candidates a clear edge over those still pending.

Where can I find and apply to registered nurse jobs in Florida?

You can find and apply to registered nurse jobs in Florida on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state. Find the roles that fit your specialty, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to each one.
